Recognize. Understand. Act.

Although dermatology is a frequent reason for primary care consultation, it raises many questions and uncertainties. When faced with a skin lesion, the first question is often the same: what do I have in front of me?
This guide addresses this need precisely.
Through an approach based first and foremost on lesion recognition, this book guides clinicians step by step through clinical reasoning. Starting with skin observation, the user is guided through a structured process that allows them to identify the most probable diagnoses and quickly access appropriate primary care management recommendations. Fully illustrated, the guide emphasizes visual learning and the recognition of clinical patterns. Each chapter presents a clear, algorithmic, and practical approach, applicable to real-world clinical situations. With over 150 chapters covering the most common dermatological conditions, this tool is an essential reference for physicians, nurse practitioners, residents, students, and other healthcare professionals involved in the assessment of skin conditions.

Includes:
- A structured diagnostic approach based on lesion morphology.

- Management algorithms adapted to primary care practice.

- Hundreds of clinical illustrations.

- Concise, practical, and decision-oriented content.

- Coverage of the most common dermatological conditions.

- A tool designed to support both clinical practice and learning.
